Anyone got/heard this? It's called Young Django - with Stephane Grapelli, Larry Coryell and Philip Catherine. Looks well cool but VERY hard to get... won't bother if it's crap!
Then get the new album by Isobel Campbell/Mark Lanegan 'Ballad Of The Broken Seas'Great record, the almost Cave/Leonard Cohen grumbing of Lanegan plus the sweetness of Campbell on tracks that have a distinct gothic country feel. Echoes of American...

i wonder if anyone's seen the brad mehldau trio lately as they are supposed to play here in two weeks and i wonder if it's worth going there. (they are playing at the berlin philharmonie so sound should be pretty good!).? thanks in advance, +blackforest.
Does anybody have some recommendations on excellent recordings for this work? I'm especially interested in the "Farewell-symphony" (symphony 45) as someone once mentioned that it has something in common with the Mozart's 25th symphony (which is one of...
What makes a film score great? The music must compliment and improve the film. If one piece of music does not compliment a film can we call it a good film score? I would not call Larry Adlers harmonica score to the film Genevieve a great piece of...
